Buildings Near Palace to Be Partially Demolished
Phnom Penh municipal governor Pa Socheatvong maintained Wednesday that the city would partially demolish two buildings near the Royal Palace because they exceed the height limit stated in their contracts, though he did not specify when the demolition would occur. ... One building, owned by Vattanac Properties, is on Sisowath Quay, and the other, owned by a local businessman, is in an alley off Street 19 behind the Royal University of Fine Arts. ... In its contract, the Vattanac building was allowed to be built to 14 meters in height, but surpassed 20 meters, and the other building, which will be a hotel, was allotted 24.5 meters, but is now more than 34.5 meters. Since the notice was issued in late October, construction on the Vattanac building has stopped, but work has continued on the other building. ...
